PARENT TRAINING AND SUPPORT IN NORTH CAROLINA
Learn new ways to support your child
Do you feel lost during your child’s meltdowns and unequipped to help them?
You are overwhelmed by your child’s big feelings and behaviors. You often parent out of survival mode, doing the best that you can, but parts of it still don’t feel quite right. You’re often left feeling disconnected from your child and notice that it’s becoming harder to find joyful moments with your child.
Whatever you’re feeling, you may have started to notice that it impacts more than just your parenting:
You’re irritable and on edge, feeling like you’re about to lose it (not just with your child, but also with other family members and friends).
You’re struggling to remain focused while at work or with others.
You’re stressed because you and your partner can’t seem to align on how to best help your child.
You’re burnt out and overwhelmed, struggling to feel connected to other loved ones or experience joy.
You’re doubting yourself as a parent and often wish that you felt closer to your child.
I’m here to support you as you expand your parenting toolbox.

FAQS
What others have wondered about CPRT?
-
Child-Parent Relationship Therapy (CPRT) is a 10-session program that teaches parents some of the same therapeutic skills that play therapists use with children. During session you can expect to be provided with education, support, and feedback from Andrea. Most sessions will include playful components where you will be invited to join Andrea in a moment of play in order to practice the skills you’ve learned (because it helps tremendously to practice these skills before using them with your child!). These skills can help you as a parent to be able to more effectively guide your child to better regulate their emotions, improve their self-esteem, increase independence, accept limits and control impulses, and feel more secure in the parent-child relationships.
